It's Christmas time, so you know what means! Come along to A Christmas Story house. The movie was filmed in Cleveland and the original house in Tremont has been turned into a museum about the movie. We're going to visit the house for a guided tour (admission $7.50), stop across the street at the "official" gift shop, and then head down the hill to Steelyard Commons for some last minute Christmas shopping. There will be plenty of deep discounts going on since it's the week of Christmas! In an effort to keep the group together, I propose we goto the following stores: Target, BuyBack$, Marshalls, Old Navy, and any other smaller stores in the plaza. If anyone knows other stores worth visiting, we can go there too! Then after we're all done shopping we can go back up the hill for dinner and drinks at one of the almighty places in Tremont... The Treehouse, Ty Fun, Edison's, Lava Lounge.. we'll have to vote or something.

So what else have you got going on for a Sunday night? This is the coolest thing you could be doing! And the last time the group went shopping together, we had a ton of fun in Ohio City!

    For those not coming to the Christmas Story House or shopping after, we're all meeting at Edison's Pub in Tremont (2373 Professor St.) at 6:00 pm (approx.) for food and drinks. They serve the 100 best beers and have a pizza/deli. The Cavs game will air at 7:30pm. Edison's is a neighborhood favorite!

    I just want to point out that this event will be unpredictable. We've never gone shopping or into a retail establishment with 20+ people, or any people for that matter. I just want to make a disclaimer that this event could get a little wild. I hope to announce where the dinner will be at in Tremont. Please stay tuned!

    •  I had fun but I think most were disappointed only outside shots were really used at the house. There were 2 actors from the film - the mean elf lady and the delivery guy for the lamp doing autographs and offering discounts on the behind the scenes film if you bought their autographed photos. For the big fan of the movie I think it's a must to check out since it's so close.

       A Christmas Story House, A Christmas Story Museum, Rowley's Inn, Target, Steelyard Commons, The Treehouse.. plenty of places that we all went, I had an awesome time and I hope everyone else did. 
    •  It was unique. We basically owned Treemont treehouse for about 2 hours.
